The Chaos that brings balance to tyrannical Order

So :clap: with the coming narrative of Aman’Thul seemingly being a control freak — which also seems to be something not-quite-so inherently shared to such a degree amongst all the titans — I feel it’d be interesting to bring more fel-races into the game, or at least via customisation / barbershop (Akin to the Eredar for Draenei).

The lore reasoning:

As we know, the fel and powers of chaos seem to bring turmoil to that of order and unlike most other powers, actually capable to shatter the Titans forms and destroy worlds that harbor world-souls.

So if the titans become a threat — Particularly Aman’Thul and Khaz’goroth, who’ve shackled Azeroth’s world soul and exterminated titanforged influenced by it for not fitting into their strict preferences — It’d make sense to recruit the forces of power which are best suited to making mayhem of their forces, power and able to pack some punch in their efforts.

  • Now naturally, Aggramar, Golganneth, Norgannon and Eonar may come around to join our side in due time — However I’d imagine there’d be some time before such happens …

The titans loyalties to one another put aside for now however, there’s a handful of additional races (and/or customisations) that could be added to the roster of our playable races thus far though :grin:

For instance →

  • Feltotem Tauren (Fel-themed Highmountain Tauren)
  • Felblood Elves (Fel-themed Blood Elves / debatably Void Elves too)
  • Felborne (Fel-themed Nightborne)
  • Satyr (Self-explanatory that one — Though could perhaps have a story where they’re semi-purified and transform in & out of Satyr and Nightelves / Highborne, somewhat akin to how the Worgen do between beast & man/woman)
  • Fel Orcs (Fel themed orcs, obviously :joy: I made a thread ages back on that too–>
    The Fel-Orcs )

Additionally, I feel this would bring a return to the themes of dark and both controversial storylines AND characters into the mix of the story once again — albeit “For the greater good” at the time, but may also serve as a pre-planning plot device for bringing us towards new or returning villains, betrayals and misconceived finger-pointing narratives (by the ACTUAL villains) and more in the future ahead, to bring us more content too. :slight_smile:

I’m sure there’s more potential that could be tapped into than the above, but I’ll let that be discussed further bellow in the discussion haha


Anyway!

Naturally with the above races, such as whether or not Void Elves can have access to Felblood customisations, and which faction can or should have access to Satyr and other related subjects – You can feel free to express & discuss further too.

So :clap: There you have it guys!

I hope most of you have enjoyed the thread, if you have any great suggestions to add, or any intriguing thoughts to share – Feel free to comment bellow! :grin:

Fel suggestions in a Void trilogy. Swinging for the fences. Goo for you :+1:

Well yeah actually, now that you mention it — That’s even FURTHER reason for it :smiley: :+1:

The Legion was essentially founded on Void threats :joy:

It’s actually brilliantly on point with the lore, haha.

That’s like … Essentially what Sargeras justified as his whole reasonings towards the Pantheon for forming the Legion and ultimately going on a burning crusade in the first place. lol

:thinking: So in a sense we’d have TWO reasons.

  • Fel opposing the powers of tyrannical order.
  • Fel opposing the powers of the void.

You could even reason that some of those ‘gifted’ with the fel & chaos had originally joined the Legion out of discovering & genuinely believing in Sargeras’ goals & reasonings – Believing it to be a noble goal — however now see their methods & Sargeras’ way of dealing with the threats were flawed, yet still strive to fight the hazards & enemies of the void. :dracthyr_nod:

Can you call it a “coming” narrative when it’s old enough to drive? We knew the Titans were obsessed with order and would sentence entire worlds to death for any deviation from their divine plans back in Ulduar, when it nearly happened to us (the first time).

Anyway, I doubt it will be to any significant degree fel magic that “saves” us, the void is being set up to be the obvious candidate. Moreover, I think the harronir and to a lesser extent the earthen thraegar suggest that probably the “right” source of power is the Worldsoul itself. (Which is a bit of a disappointment, but there you have it.)

The Last Titan will likely drag Sargeras from the Pantheon, and we might see a Fel uptick in 13.0. But I don’t see it happening in Midnight :man_shrugging:t2:

I meant soon to be addressed in a more direct manner, as per what was referenced by Metzen when discussing ‘The final titan’ or whatever from the World Soul Saga :slight_smile:

Oh yeah, I didn’t necessarily mean right now / anytime very soon or at the launch of Midnight, I meant more-so towards the end patch & phase of Midnight or the early patch & phase of the final titan / 3rd expansion of the World-Soul-Saga, when we’re addressing both of such narratives coming to rise. :grin:

Along with them being Demon Hunters I would never play anything else. Until they introduce bards. That fake Fel Orc Demon hunter rumor before the xpac announcements was so good. Too bad Blizz never adds things people actually ask for.

Having both:

  • Draenei Demon-Hunters that are strictly locked to Man’ari + demon features
  • and Fel-Orcs Demon-Hunters strictly locked to … Well, fel orcs :joy:

would be grand!! :grin:
Still got a whole bunch of peeps locked up by the Wardens too :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

A 3-way power struggle will always be more interesting though.
